This book is based on the theme of “the death of a beloved dog,” which will someday come to those who live their lives with dogs, and asks how to accept the loss and what can be done before that day. This is a non-fiction book based on Kuroda’s actual experience, from the time he adopted his beloved dog Donbe to the time he parted ways with him.

Recommendation by musician Keiichi Sogabe
Most encounters are similar. But there are millions of ways to break up. An irreplaceable love story.
